With 12G-SDI connectivity, the HDR Image Analyzer 12G supports up to 4K/UHD resolution over a single cable, simplifying cabling for 4K workflows. It also includes 6G, 3G, and 1.5G SDI I/O, making it a flexible solution for multi-format environments. The dual SDI outputs allow users to monitor their video content in real-time while providing output for external displays or QC stations.

The HDR Image Analyzer 12G provides a comprehensive set of analysis tools to monitor and assess color, brightness, and dynamic range in HDR and SDR content. These include:

• Waveform monitor: Displays luminance levels and color information in real time.
• Histogram: Tracks the distribution of brightness levels.
• Vectorscope: Monitors chroma levels and color saturation for color grading and broadcast compliance.
• Nit-level monitoring: Provides precise measurement of HDR brightness, helping ensure content remains within defined luminance ranges.

The HDR Image Analyzer 12G supports a wide range of HDR formats, including HDR10, HLG, PQ, and Dolby Vision, allowing for comprehensive analysis across all major HDR delivery formats. Additionally, the system is fully compatible with WCG (Wide Color Gamut) workflows, supporting Rec.709 and Rec.2020 color spaces, ensuring that color accuracy is maintained throughout production and post.

For broadcasters and post-production teams, the HDR Image Analyzer 12G offers advanced error logging to help identify and address issues before delivery. Features such as PQ curve analysis, nit-level violations, and color gamut excursions provide an in-depth view of potential errors in HDR production, ensuring that your content complies with broadcast standards and QC requirements.

The system can monitor HDR metadata, such as MaxCLL (Maximum Content Light Level) and MaxFALL (Maximum Frame-Average Light Level), ensuring that HDR content remains consistent with intended delivery specifications. With Dolby Vision compatibility, the HDR Image Analyzer 12G ensures seamless integration into workflows that require Dolby Vision mastering or delivery.

With a web-based user interface, the HDR Image Analyzer 12G can be remotely controlled and monitored, offering flexibility for teams working in remote production environments or multi-user facilities. Operators can access the system’s controls and settings from anywhere with network access, streamlining workflow management and configuration.

Housed in a 1RU rack-mountable chassis, the HDR Image Analyzer 12G is designed for easy integration into broadcast racks, post-production suites, and mobile production trucks. Its compact form factor makes it a perfect fit for facilities with limited space but high demand for 4K HDR production and compliance monitoring.

The AJA HDR Image Analyzer 12G is ideal for broadcast engineers, colorists, QC teams, and post-production professionals who need a reliable tool for HDR and SDR monitoring and compliance analysis. Its ability to handle 4K/UHD content and multiple HDR formats makes it an essential tool for high-end color grading, broadcast monitoring, live production, and HDR mastering workflows.
